Goodreads Synopsis:

The high-pitched battle is on between powerful angels, sexy demons and innocent humans to dominate a world rife with political intrigue…and to win the heart of one hapless male!

Awyn Gardner will do anything to protect the beautiful mistress of the equally beautiful estate gardens he lovingly tends—even enslave himself to an also beautiful demon bent on world domination! The high-pitched battle is on between powerful angels, sexy demons and innocent people to dominate a world rife with political intrigue…and to win the heart of one hapless human man!

An unexpected source warns covenanter Awyn and his demon mistress Vyrde that their village is about to be attacked by an enemy angel. Even with Vyrde’s help, how can Awyn protect so many people at once…?! If only they had a powerful ally…wielded by another covenanter…

Review:

Awyn is having to come to terms with the fact that this thing with the angels has real consequences. He doesn't seem to care about himself, but he cares almost too much for the people of the village. Particularly Marie, but he doesn't want anyone else to die, either.
As he's still dealing with the last fight, we get a surprise of a new one. We meet Moro first, another angel, who for a bit made me wonder if he was double crossing someone, and who. But then the town gets attacked by these demon bugs, and Awyn has to make a dractic move in order to get everyone to leave. It's a bit sad, but necessary. Most of this volume is full of fighting, and there are some deaths and a lot of blood. The cliffhanger has me actually excited to see what happens next. I can't wait to see this fight, honestly.
I really quite liked the new characters, Moro and Alice. I was surprised by how much backstory we got of Alice, but I liked it, and I like her. Their partnership is fun to me. Aside from that, we also got some hints regarding Maria, which should lead to something.
I'm quite interested in this series by this point. I want to read more.
